Nice secure jobs and a big bonus at the end of cocking up, No you would rather pick on the vulnerable, the unemployed the weak, blame them for this recession.
There will always be people needing a helping hand from society, but that is usually because of circumstances beyond their control, stick to bragging about how your bank didn't need a hand out, but don't come crying on here when you get made redundant by them because you, no matter how secure you feel will be in the front line, (I bet you had to duck the last time such rumours were being passed around).

Good point ... I remember Ed Broadbent, former leader of the New Democrats, referring to the banks and big business in general as "corporate welfare bums." There is too much criticism of the little people who find themselves in a bind because of bad business decisions on the part of big business, and too little criticism of those business who begged for, and received, billions of dollars from govt. (The govt. of Ontario handed out over 5 billion dollars to GM ... and the UAW (United Auto Workers), those terrible unions, eh, took massive wage cutbacks to help out the industry.))
